absence during which hia popularity
ha had tremendous growth, Mr, Bryan
returns, receives the plaudits of his
devoted followers, makes graceful no

giving to absence a second opportunity
to make the Democratic heart grow
fonder. Thus, both to Br. Ilryan and

the depreciation that every man, no

will make it the fashion for presidential

those speeches will be the Democratic
slogans in this year? nmpaign, There

to what Issues I Mr; Bryan will make

eastern Democrats that he will come

If Mr. Bryan eome out strong for gov

nomination of Mr. Hearst. Should Mr.
Bryan make tariff revision paramount,
it would largely take the wind out of
the Hearst sails, because tariff revUion
has had no conspicuous place In the

may convince Mr. Bryan that the time
is ripe to declare that policy as a car

Radical Policy Wanted by Some.
Itndical Democrats everywhere are

out flat-footed for government owner

such a course would be the best of poll

conviction that those policies hav

words, Itoosevelt has stolen Bryan''
thunder. The thing for Mr. Bryan to
do, therefore, 1. to get some new thun

ownership of railraod. Mr. Roosevelt
has not gone that far, and there is no

PRAY FOR D0WIE. ;
Voliva and People Offer Prayer For the
"First Apostle."
CHICAGO, Aogust 20.-Further evi
dence of peace negotiations between
John Alexander , Dowie and Wilbur
Glenn Voliva end his followers came out
at two meetingt held in Zion City yes
terday. It was Bowie's day at the
tabernacle, but the First Apostle failed
to appear, although It was announced
from hour to hour that he would soon
be there. Deacon A, Errington repre
sented Dowie and declared that the de
posed leader would give to the public
in a few days a statement of bis side
of the controversy.
For the first time since the differences
arose between Dowie and Voliva, the
general overseer prayed for Dowie and
asked the people to do the same. They
were asked to pray that Dowie be guid
ed aright in any step he was about to
take. According to the Inter Ocean, an
an agreement was reached yesterday bj
which Dowie wilL for the remainder of
his life retain the "First Apostle" of
the Christian Catholic Church, while the
temporal affairs of the community will
be in the hand of Voliva and his sup
porters. It wag finally agreed that Dowie
should drop an attempts to dispute the
ruling of the Federal Court in the con
test case between himself and Voliva
for the possession of the assets of Zion.
Dowie also agreed to give his tenta
tive support to Voliva in his campaign
for the place of general overseer at the
election ordered by the court for next
month.
In return for this Voliva and bis
friends promised that so soon as the
office of general overseer is vested in
Voliva, the latter will proclaim him
self with the teachings of Dowie and
acknowledge hia supremacy in all mat
ters pertaining to the church.

doors at his Forest Hill home Sunday.
The Euclid Avenue Baptist Church was
crowded, many of those present being
strangers led by the announcement that
Mr. Rockefeller would be present. Dr.
Cortland Myers of the Baptist taber
nacle, Brooklyn, preached the sermon,
during the course of which he defended
Mr. Rockefeller from newspaper attacks.
He said:
"I have known men to be unjustly
accused and made to appear worse than

among the friends who knows them and
live with them they are loved and re-.

NEED MORE MEN.
PITTSBURG, August 20. Railroads
entering Pittsburg are in sore straits
for men to. man their trains. Some of
them have raised the age limit estab
lished for new employes some years ago,
while others are abandoning it alto
gether. The tremendous increase in
freight business finds them all short
handed, while at the same time the
western roads are draining the eastern
market of all available men to help
move the phenomenal crops. Advertis
raents are appearing in the local papers
for men to fill positions as brakeraen
and conductors, wages are being advanc
ed and every effort made to increase the
working forces before the heavy rush
of Fall freight business causes a com
plete blockade.
